A champion effort

Congratulations to our nine young riders who successfully competed in the recent RDAQ State Championships.

RDA coach, Rhiannon Pollins assists Cara Dunston to ride her test on Paddington Bear.

The competition, submitted by video, comprised dressage and sporting classes, attracting participants from RDA centres across Queensland.

Our riders all competed in dressage events and were supported by a committed team of coaches and volunteers. The effort involved was significant, especially from those who helped the riders learn their tests, prepare their horses and film individual tests.

Samford RDA’s results saw seven placegetters in their respective competition segment, and the top three scores overall across the State.

A big thank you goes to all those involved, and to Samford Equestrian Group for allowing the riders to use the SEG arenas at Samford Showgrounds in which to perform their tests.
